- In this video I will show you I how finished my cross stitch stocking. This pattern is by Gardeners delight by Kooler designs. the link is here if you would like to purchase the pattern. www.koolerdesign.com/shopprod...
A lot of dimensions kits have this same shape. My approach is a little different, but very simple. A couple of people reached out to me to show how I finish my stocking when I was done stitching it. This stocking was completed live, step by step. The back of the stocking was finished with vevelteen purchased at Joanns, It was 50 percent off with any additional 20 percent off. It cost about 5 dollars. Super soft and already quilted. I hope this tutorial gives you an idea on how to finish for stocking. Happy Valentine's Day.

Hi Cindy thanks for the tutorial it’s wonderful and your stocking is beautiful 🙂
Thank you
THANK YOU! I did the stitching for a stocking for my husband years ago-- but never put it on a stocking! Now I know how! I want to make one for all the grandkids, too-- your tutorial is a lifesaver!
Glad it was helpful 🌻
Cindy , your stocking is gorgeous. You did such a great tutorial, thanks. I love your calm delivery style!
thank you so much. I do the videos to help and bring joy to people 🌻
Cindy , I have been an elementary school teacher for decades -- you are an excellent instructor.
@@EclecticSB that is a nice compliment , that made me smile.
Your stocking turned out great. Thanks for sharing. (Pauline S)
Thank you Pauline 🌻
Loved the step by step instructions. Very easy to follow. You are a great teacher! Your stocking turned out so beautiful . Are you going to keep it out or put it away? TFS. Judy
Thank you. It will never be put away. It hangs by my fireplace. 🌻
Oh Cindy, it's just BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I really like the backing..... I'm going to have to go to Jo Ann's to look for it.... I think it would make a cute purse!
Thanks for the tut.
Thank you. It would make a cute purse.
Excellent tutorial. Gives me a little more encouragement to finish the three I have almost done. Where did you get the backing material that is already quilted. Awesome job Cindy!
Thank you. Joanns is where i purchased the velveteen. If you click the down arrow by the video, It gives all of the details. Have fun finishing yours.🌻
You are truly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!! You did an amazing job!!!!
Thank you
Hello Cindy. Your stocking and tutorial is amazing. Could you please if possible provide the link for the backing material you used (Velveteen) for the stocking. I have looked on the Joann’s website and am unable to find it. Thank you very much
Wonderful tutorial Cindy, thank you! I’m wondering what brand iron you have and if you would recommend it? Thanks!
Thank you. I have a shark and I would recommend it
i’ve watched this tutorial like 10 times, i’m almost finished with a stocking i’m making this year and this was so helpful and makes me confident for the sewing portion when it’s that time! thank you !! question for you - if you do want to line the inside (because my stocking will probably have stuff in it) do you just use another piece of fabric? or is the stuff you ironed onto it protection enough?
If it will be used and stuffed a lot use a fabric to protect the inside. 🌻
Love your stocking! How long did it take you to do the stitching? I always wanted to make one but I don't know if it will take too long
I like to know that too...
Thank you. A little over a year but i stitched over a 100 other pieces in between that.
vipajoclto t - I see Cindy answered but I hope you don't mind hearing my info here. I stitched two in this series, holiday kitchen and holiday workshop. I kept track of hours in those days- each one took me 180 hours. That was 20 years ago, but I think it would still take that long. So worth it... lots of backstitching and detail.
@@EclecticSB you kept track. Good for you. I cant keep track, i work on to many things . I am happy i keep track of the start date and ending date. They are worth stitching.
time_to_stitch_ Thank you so much for the info! I knew that these beautiful stockings take up a long time! I'm a kind of a slow stitcher, so a single stocking will probably take me double than what it took you!😂😂 Maybe this year I'll get brave and start one! Thank you for telling me exactly the time it took you! 🙌
May I ask... what type of fabric did you do the cross stitching on? Is that Aida cloth?
Thank you.
Yes, it is a soft Aida🌻
Awesome! Someone finally did one! Thank you. Was there any pulling? i see you went slow. Did you need any special thread? Was it a standard needle? Aida cloth is thicker than fabric.
When working with corners and curves, I recommend pinning everything. Go slow and take your time. Standard needle. Aida is fine. No special thread. It really is fine. 🌻🌻
@@Cindyscrossstitch Thank you. I have done more than 15 stockings. I like them because when i use stretcher bars my fingers don't get too close to the sides, drives me nuts. Plus i get to give them away. Moms friend does all of mine but i would like to do them, i hate when they are away. lol One lady, i don't know, i think she sewed them too close and the design was tucked into the seem. I didn't do all that work to have the borders tucked under. I am definitely getting a sewing machine and maybe take some classes at joan fabrics or on the internet. Thank you again for showing us this and responding.
@@NoIdea8829 you would love your own sewing machine. 🌻🌻
@@Cindyscrossstitch What ones should i look at?
@@NoIdea8829 picture this plus has awesome Aida. That is what I used for this stocking. 123stitch.com sells it.🌻
Did you "block" the stocking before doing this? I'm getting different answers from everyone I ask.
No, I didn't.
How do you add piping?
I don't like piping. Piping get sewn between the layers
How long did it take you to make this in total?
I do several projects at once so I could not tell you. It was an enjoyable stitch.
Hi. Where can I find the pattern
Kooler designs online.
